Roasted Garlic Broccolini

Have you ever tried broccolini?

Broccolinni

The first time I heard the name, I decided I would like it. Isn’t the name just fun to say “brocc-o-lini”! ;D It is also a fun twist instead of the boring stubby broccoli. Don’t get me wrong, I like broccoli, but something new is always worth a try. What makes it better is the thin slivers of roasted garlic. If you want to get fancy, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top before you serve.

I find that if you roast them at too high of a temperate the tips immediately char. It is hard to roast broccolini and not brown the tips because they are so thin, but that way it adds to the flavor.

They are light, lightly crisp, and roasty! yum

Since I have been busy lately with NAET treatments (update on that soon) I thought I would post a simple recipe. Here is it! Even though I cannot eat broccolini due to my endless sensitivities, I remember the first time I had it. It was good. I also made this “side” for my family’s dinner.

I really like Broccolini and have been growing it for a few years now. I guess it’s a relative of the mustard plant, but I like to think of it as broccoli too…your recipe sounds DELISH! Will have to try it! Thanks for your post. Blessings, Nancy
